Pritzker is among the business leaders who have faced repercussions since the release of files showing the breadth of Epstein's network.
Billionaire Thomas Pritzker announced on Monday he was retiring as executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels effective immediately, citing the need for “good stewardship” in a letter to the board and expressing regret for his past association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
"Good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell which I deeply regret," Pritzker wrote.
